This is a poem for a friend of mine, whom I think the world of. Treasure Through the bad times, and the good. You will stand strong, with loved ones by your side. Though life is hard, you know not to give in. The love from friends and family, keep you going through the storm. If you ever feel weak, know that you have backup. The love you exude, fuels us all. I have come to treasure you, in the short time we had. Don't ever let your light diminish, because it is as radiant as the sun. Copyright, Ringgren Love + Blessings...

This is the last day in the states. The last day in Louisiana and the last day in Baton Rouge. I feel sad that I have to go, but there is not much I can do about it now. It was an amazing trip, one that I will remember forever. I will give a more detailed account of what happened when I get home and rest up on Tuesday. For now I will say this. It is not the first and certainly not the last time I come here. Love + Blessings
